Illness of Col. Robert Campbell.

~ -"
The announcement in the REGISTER,
yesterday morning, of the very serious i'll
ness of Col. Robert Campbell created much
sorrow among all classes of citizens, and
during the day there were many enquiries
as TO the condition of the patient. About
the City Hall, during the day, there was
much solicitude and anxiety expressed,
while alarge number of friends called at the
residence on the Island during the day and
evening. Col. Campbell was unconscious
during the entire day, and had a number
of commissions. Last night his condition
was reported to be very serious. There is
no connection between the surgical opera
ton mentioned in yesterdays paper, and
his present illness, the latter being some
thing like paralysis if the brain. 1t is
sincerely hoped an improvement will be
noted to-day, but there seems TO be little
hope.
Word from Mr.. Campbell's residence at
half-past one o'clock this morning was to
the effect that there was no sign Of i'm
prevement. The patient was still uncou-
scious, and very restless. At times he
would apparently try to talk, but no word
could be understood. His limbs frequent
~ twitched, and further commissions were
feared.

Coincidence-A Renaissance.

Captain Wynn, who commanded the
Sumter Light Guards, was killed at the
battle of Gettysburg. One morning, the
one after that battle, his wife, who lived
in Americas, entered her parlor, where
upon the wall hung a handsome painting
Of her husband. As she glanced up she
was horror-stricken Oh seeing that the
painting had fallen from the wall, and in
doing 81 the face had been pierced by a
chair post which stood beneath where it had
hung. Rushing from the house, she went
at once to a neighbOr and related the oc-
currence, adding that she firmly believed
the Captain had been killed in the fight of
the day previous. On the arrival of the
train news of the battle was brought, and
among the first names in the list of those
killed was that of her gallant husband.
The strangest feature about the killing,
however, was that he had been shot in the
face in the identical spot where the chair
post had pierced the canvas.
(Ga.) Recorder.
During the Crimean war the wife of a
British officer was at her beautiful home.
Looking one day through the window and
over the flowers and shrubbery, she saw
her husband galloping to the gate on his
war horse. She was not expecting him
Throwing aside some garment she was sew
ing she rushed down the walk and upon
arriving at the gate neither horse nor rider
was to be seen. 4 woman Of education
and refinement, she was appalled, at the
circumstance, for she felt certain that her
husband had been killed. Returning at
once TO the residence she made a note of
the day and hour. In some ten days or less
she received letter informing her that
her gallant husband had fallen in battle
and at the very minute she saw what she
supposed to be her husband riding rapidly

lived a member of the II. Z. Church for
more than a half century. He was mar
ried to Miss Mary CT. Williams they lived
for more than 80 years together as husband
and wife and as members of the church of
God, each faithfully showing their devO-
ton to God and His church. In early life
Bro. BurWell became member of the
church and filled the Office Of steward as
long as his physical condition allowed him.
For Il number OF years before his death he
lost his sight, and his activity in church
work ended, and his time was cheelfully
spent at his home in the bosom Of his fam
lily, tenderly cared for by all his house
hold. He was cheerful and happy Chris

ity. Bro. Burwell was an exemplary man
in all the relations of life, beloved and
trusted by all who knew him, industrious,
frugal and skillful and conscientious.
He was a successful farmer and planter,
and by his wise management enjoyed all
the temporal blessings desirable in the
present life. On his life rested no strain
and on his end no cloud to darken his
future prospects The friend who pens
this tribute on visit not long before he
died and from which attack he rallied,

his life was about the close. lie met what
he supposed to be the end trusful in Jesus
and full of hope. He leaves behind wife
to mourn with hope, his great loss, and a
son and wife and eleven grandchildren
and many relatives and friends. Precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death of such
man. He did his work we'll and has left
the weapons of his spiritual warfare be
hind and now reaps his reward in the
world Of victory. This writer who SYM

CHE KID A FINE PIECE OF WORK
MANsHIP.-There is on exhibition at the
ieNelry establishment of MeSsrS. Chapman
II Gale, No. 152 Main street, in this city
one of the most unique pieces of workman
ship that was ever exhibited here. 1t is a
watch made on tive-cent piece for plate,
and is just the size of a nickel. The watch
is composed of iifty-siX pieces, all of which
are on a surface the size of nickel Every
piece composing the watch was made by
hand-eXCept the main and hair springs,
glass and dial-and at odd times, and
some of the pieces are so small that they
cannot be seen by an inexperienced eye eX-
cept with the aid OF a magnifying glass.
The watch records the hours and minutes,
is a key-winder, and in silver cases made
from an old spoon handle. This wonder
full piece of mechanism is the handiWOrk
of the late Henry G. Capehart, Who was
born and reared in MuTfreeSbOro', \. c.,

the past ten years, engaged in the jewelry
store of Capt. ii. &. Burrows. Had the
manufacturer lived he intended soon to put
the works into gold cases and change it to
a stem-winder. This little wonder. which
reflects great credit upon Mr.. Capehart' 5
workmanship, was by him christened The

Printing and Topping Tobacco.

Under this head there is wide differ
ence of opinion. king off the small
and inferior leaves Of the plant near the
ground is called ''priming," which opera.
ton is done along with the topping,
if done at all. There are advantages fol-
and against printing. but all resort to top
ping-pluckfng out the seed bud and the
adjacent small leaves with the thumb and
finger. Some contend that pulling off the
lower leaves SapS the plants and retards
the growth, if the weather is dry. That
permitting the lower leaves to remain Oh
the stalk protects the upper ones from
sand and grit, makes them cleaner and
therefore more salable. Sand and grit are
the terror of the tobacco buyer. On the
other hand, il is cOntended by some that
By some pulling off the lower leaves,
which are generally useless, the remain
ing leaves receive more wax, Oil and gum,
and that the lower leaves harbor worms
and make the Worming process more tcdi-
Gus.
1t is best to wait until considerable
number Of planes begin TO button for seed
before commencing to top. Topping should
be the work of experienced and trusty
hands-men who can top, leaving any re.
quired number of leaves on a plant with
out counting. The secret of this-nO lon
ger secret to the initiated-is, that the
topper soon learns to know that counting
the bottom leaf that hangs over it in the
third tier going upward, make n5ne leaves
Including both top and bottom leaves. Fix
ing this in his mind, the topper has only to
add to or deduct from this sndec leaf mark
ing nine, to leave any desired number OF
te0Des Oh each plant with certainty and
without counting. Young man, if you
don't know how, get some old negro to
show you. Topping, you will find, is a
slow business if you have to count the
leaves on all the plants topped. If the
plants are not primed, then the bottom
leaf must he fixed by the eye, looking up
ward for the leaf in the third tier, which
hangs over it, to catch the cue as before
II printing is done, don't err in pulling of
too many leaves. No regular rule can be
given, so the planter must judge for him.
self. The reason given for waiting until
many plants are ready to lie topped is
mainly that molc plants may ripen tOgeth-
CT and be ready for the knife at the same
time. This is an advantage that applies
with strong force to all tobacco intended
for fine curing.
The number of leaves to be left on each
plant varies according to the time the work
is done, early or late, the appearance and
prospective development Of the plant, the
season, whether prOpitious or unfavorable,
strength of the soil, and amount of ferti!-
in ordinary seasons, the first topping
should be from ten to thirteen leaves
rarely more-fOr brights. For sweet fill
crs from nine to ten, and for dark, rich
shipping, from eight to nine leaves are
enough. AS the season advances reduce
the number of leaves accordingly ; remem-
bering that quality more than quantity
regulates returns.--My r. L. RGgland
